The Ultra Sylvania's are not HID's. They are halogen bulbs.
They produce a whiter light that "appears" brighter. The Ultras actually have a bluish tint to them and the Silverstars are whiter. You can buy them on ebay cheap. HERE

Actual HID's have no filamant inside them and will be 2x as bright as any holegne you buy. They are however illegal for use with halogen housings even though most guys do it anyways. They tend to blind oncomin traffic as the glare is much increased due to the design of the housing.

Look into the site sponsor hidextra.com they have plug and play kits for both fogs as well as regulars, super easy to install and I have never heard anyone complain about quality.
